Your London Publishing is taking part in Lambeth Local History Fair on Saturday 2 September between 10.30 am and 4.30 pm. It will be held in St Leonard’s Church in Streatham. This promises to be a lively event with tours of the church – including its memorable crypt – and talks. Check the full programme here.

Jiro Osuga exhibits mostly in London and New York but a new book places him firmly in his living/working context: Streatham.

Come to the Horse & Groom on Streatham High Road. You will be amazed by the exhibition and there you can also catch up with The Streatham Sketchbook. Like The Dulwich Notebook by the same publisher, it will soon take its place as ‘one of the top London books’.

The Streatham Sketchbook will make you proud of being a Londoner and of living in Streatham in particular.

SPECIAL ACTIVITY: a quiz! for grown-ups and families.
